The problem is that when I send attachments (at least to people who are not
using Outlook), instead of receiving them, they get a file named
winmail.dat, which leads them nowhere. I know this usually happens when you
send text in RTF or Word to those who cannot recognize it. However, I always
send my mail as Plain Text, which is the standard solution that Microsoft
gives for resolving the problem. I'm using Office and Outlook 2000 (IMO,
9.0.0.2711) on Win98. I can get around the problem by zipping the
attachments, but that is a nuisance for me and the recipient. In looking at
some of the postings on this issue, I did see one suggestion for
"unclicking" or turning off the option that says to send mail with MIME
enabled. I haven't tried that. Any other ideas?
